Abstract: Novel N-acetonylbenzamides are disclosed. These compounds are useful in controlling phytopathogenic fungi.

Abstract: A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi is disclosed. The method uses a fungicidal composition which has been found to be effective against strains of fungi which are resistant to benzimidazole fungicides. When combined with one or more of benzimidazole, thiophanate, or dicarboximide fungicides, and applied to a mixed population of sensitive and resistant fungi, the fungicidal compound of the present invention is more effective against the mixed population of fungi than either of the fungicidal compounds alone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for converting 5-carboxanilido-haloalkylthiazoles having mixed structural forms into a single structural form. The invention also provides single-structural form 5-carboxanilido-haloalkylthiazoles, compositions of the single-structural form 5-carboxanilido-haloalkylthiazoles, and methods to formulate such compounds.

Abstract: Novel routes for the preparation of acetonylbenzamides are provided by the reaction of an amine and acyl chloride. Novel routes to various intermediates used in the manufacture of acetonylbenzamides are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are herbicidal aryl substituted cycloalkyl and aryl substituted cycloalkenyl compounds, herbicidal compositions, and herbicidal use of the compounds and compositions. The aryl substituent is selected from substituted phenyl, unsubstituted or substituted five-membered heterocycle, and unsubstituted or substituted six-membered heterocycle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of inhibiting the growth of marine organisms on a marine structure, by applying dihydropyridazinone and pyridazinone compounds onto or into the marine structure. These compounds may be directly incorporated into the marine structure during manufacture, directly applied to the structure, or applied to the structure by means of a coating.

Abstract: Certain N-acetonylbenzamides and their use as fungicides are disclosed. The N-acetonylbenzamides disclosed contain a heterocyclic ring fused to an aromatic ring. These compounds are particularly effective against phytopathogenic fungi of the class Oomycetes. Also disclosed is a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi by applying one or more of the heterocyclic N-acetonylbenzamides of the present invention, optionally with one or more additional fungicidal compounds.

Abstract: This invention relates to substituted dihydropyridazinones, pyridazinones and related compounds, of the formula ##STR1## wherein A, Q, D and R1 are as defined within, compositions containing these compounds and methods of controlling agricultural and mammalian fungal diseases.
